Ile
who doth
make his
creature fuch
who
may fall, and fetteth
him
in fuch
circumftances in which he
cloth fee he
will fall, and then
permitteth
him
to himfelfe,
he
doth
will and ordaine
that
his crea-
ture,
through
his
mutability
and
freedome,
(hall fall
:
But
God
ma-
keth
him fuch
who
may fall,
and fetteth
him
in
fuch circumftances,
in
which he
doth
forefee
he
will fall,& then leaverh him
to
fall;Erge.
If
any except,
God doth
make him fuch
as
may fall, and
fet him in
.
circumftances in
which
he will fall,
not that
he
intendeth
his
fall,
but for
his
triall;
I
would
aske,
why God
knowing fuch circumftan-
ces,
in
which
his
creature
might
poffibly have
fallen, not
a63ually
falling,
